Local Fire Department User Quick Start Guide
The National Fire Incident Reporting System (NFIRS) Data Warehouse (DW) is a free
reports tool accessible with an active eNFIRS account with the appropriate permissions.
It allows the user to create summary reports based on incident data entered in the
NFIRS database, and users can look at all data from their own re department and
released data only from other departments from around the country. The reports
oered in the DW include reports from the Summary Output Reports Tool that many
users are familiar with and contain additional reports that can be used to better
assist re departments, from the areas of data quality and re causes to summaries
to analysis and more. Data in the NFIRS DW is refreshed nightly.
